The Great Commission Was Not Sedition
Matthew 28:16-20
Jesus Christ is God and omnipotent.
He has dominion, glory, and kingdom.
He gave His Apostles a commission.
They were to baptize and teach salvation.
Instead of being servant in Heaven
The devil chose to be ruler in Hell.
We were made in God’s image. Jesus Christ
Died for our sins. The Spirit inspires us.
In a James Thurber “New Yorker” cartoon,
An angry man said to a woman, “I
Assume then, that you regard yourself as
Omniscient. If I am wrong, correct me!”
Knute Rockne used to say, “Keep on the balls
Of your feet. Then you’ll look like something neat.”
Patrick McCaskey
